and LSI Logic Corp., which provides storage products, said they have completed certification of a new Fibre Channel 2Gb/s infrastructure bundle.The bundle includes the Vixel 9000 Series 2 Gigabit per second (Gb/s) Fabric Switches and LSI Logic’s 2Gb/s LSI44929O Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter (HBA).
